WrestleMania is the best spectacle in Sports-Entertainment. For wrestling fans, its bigger than the World Series, NBA Finals, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup and even the World Cup.  Each year during Black History Month, WWE celebrates the black performers who made their mark in the business. However, there has been a number of celebrities who have performed at WrestleMania.

Note- This list does not include black celebrities who were in attendance.

Mr. T was a very important part of WrestleMania. Many could argue that without him, WrestleMania may not have had the success.

And with Mr T and Piper having such a huge rivalry, the two would square off again at WrestleMania 2 in a boxing match. Mr. T would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014.
